Overall Satisfaction with Apple iCloud
We use Apple iCloud as a whole department as a way of sharing Apple-based information without the need for "hard" storage and transfer devices such as external hard drives. It allows us to transfer data without having to first convert it to an alternate file type such as Microsoft Word or Excel.
- Data sharing.
- Data storage of Apple-related file types.
- Great integration with apple products.
- It seems kind of like a "black box," and is difficult to keep clean.
- impossible to integrate with Microsoft files.
- Automatically turns on, so difficult to keep things straight.
- It has helped streamline data sharing.
- It has led to the mysterious disappearance of several files.
- It has made us think twice about the cloud service we use.
I selected Apple icloud mainly because it is the best for using with pesky apple file types, but overall it does a pretty poor job against competitors. It is more expensive, offers less storage, and is much more difficult to use. I'd stick to an alternative program if it were possible.
